'UNCONVENTIONAL TRAVELS. 'Sailing Sunny Seas' is an unconventional account by
Ella Wheeler Wilcox of brief journeys in Jamaica, Porto Rico, Honolulu, the
West Indies, and other regions of constant Summer. The sketches are full of the
picturesque personality and the ardent temperament of their author and they
give vivid and often intimate pictures of the scenes and the varied phases of
life in the semi-tropical islands which she visited. It goes without saying
that she saw many things whose philosophical aspects interested her deeply and
moved her to discussion. The book is fully illustrated with photographs by the
author.' - New York Times Book Review February 26, 1910, p. 111. Good original
decorative hardcover with small pictorial label pasted on front cover. Covers
slightly worn. Small colored felt-tip mark on top edge. Bookplate has been
removed inside front cover. Former owner's name inside front cover. Hinges
